More than 360 people joined last year’s Alaska Low Carb Cruise, where speakers taught a low-carb approach centered on fiber-first savory meals and diverse plant foods for gut health.
Debbie Hubbs, 73, said low-carb eating was the only method that helped her lose weight and keep it off after decades of dieting, prompting her to help launch the cruise in 2008.
The event has now sailed 20 times, mostly on Royal Caribbean ships, pairing shared meals and group activities with seminars from physicians on cancer, heart health and food addiction.
Michelle Hall, who lost nearly 100 pounds after lap-band surgery and later adopted keto in 2020, said passengers most value the community rather than strict food rules.
Organizers say the cruise promotes healthier low-carb eating without endorsing one plan or policing meals, drawing both repeat guests and newcomers from countries including Iceland, Australia and South Africa.
